Alright, so we are using apache 2.0 running on a windows 2003 server. We had a wildcard ssl certificate before, and now it is expired and we renewed up with a new UC Certificate. I downloaded the apache files from the godaddy website.

I am just trying to determine how to get this new certificate on the apache server and working. For the life of me I haven't been able to figure this out. I have read many documents online, but none have helped me.

Any advice?

Can you post the relevant, sanitized portions of your httpd.conf? – mahnsc Sep 30 '11 at 13:37
I reviewed that file, funny thing is, only two lines seem to be edited or customized to us. Server name and one other line. I see the httpd-ssl.conf file as information pointing to our certificate. So I placed the new certificate into the store, and changed that line in that file. Restarted service and it service wouldn't start until I changed it back. So I am thinking we might have to do something with the Key as well? I don't need to regenerate a CSR from this server right? The way we did it with go daddy was from IIS 7, CSR from there, they created the certificate. – jherlitz Sep 30 '11 at 14:08
So here is my latest. I created a pfx file which has the private key and everything. I have that on the server now. I believe I have to do something with that to export the private key and the .crt file, place in the directories and then modify the ssl.conf file??? Am I heading down the right direction? – jherlitz Sep 30 '11 at 14:59
You'll need to add a directive for the cert, one for the key, and sometimes you need to add one for the intermediate cert(s) – mahnsc Sep 30 '11 at 15:01
Yeah, you're going to want to use something like openssl to convert them or you could give the online converter a try: sslshopper.com/ssl-converter.html – mahnsc Sep 30 '11 at 18:36
